[Raleigh noticing Geiszler's tattoo's on his arms]
What is that, Yamarashi? [pointing to the tattoo on his arm]
This little Kaiju? Yeah, you got a good eye.
My brother and I took him down in 2017.
You know he was one of the biggest Category 3's ever? He was 2,500 tons of awesome. [there's a moment's pause as Raleigh gives him a cold look] Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it.
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie, he loves them.
Shut up, Hermann! I don't love them, okay? I study them. And unlike most people, I wanna see one live and up close one day.
Trust me, you don't want to.
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb [Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run]
Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you.
[dismissively]
Not now, Mr. Gottlieb, I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me--
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a Kaiju!
Hermann Gottlieb They're adapting. This isn't a defense mechanism, it's a weapon!
Get me Striker.
Nothing, sir. The Mark 5's digital's fried. It'll take me two hours to reroute the auxliary. All the Jaegers, they're digital!
[approaches Stacker along with Mako]
Not all of them, marshal. [Stacker turns to him and Mako] Gipsy's analog. Nuclear.
[Stacker stares at his daughter and Raleigh, knowing he has no choice but to send them out in Gipsy Danger to face Leatherback and Otachi.]
Dr. Hermann Gottlieb There are 2 Kaiju signatures at the Breach, not 3 like I predicted.
Hermann, I haven't exactly had a very good day, okay? I've got about 5 minutes...
Dr. Gottlieb Should be 3.
...before brain death occurs here. I don't wanna spend it talking about your theories!
Dr. Gottlieb This is all wrong! There should be 3 Kaijus coming through, not 2.
Oh, there should be 3 and there's 2? I'm sorry, it hurts to be wrong.
Dr. Gottlieb I am not wrong, but there is something here we don't understand.
[speaking fast]
Okay, Hermann, hopefully we can argue about any mistakes you made in your predictive model in the future. But in the meantime, the neural interface is way off the charts. If you wanna help, help with that!
Dr. Gottlieb Newton, I am not wrong! And there is only 1 way to make sure. [types his name on the monitor] And that is to do this...together. I'll go with you. [Newton turns around] That's what the Jaeger pilots do, share the neural load.
You're serious? You-You would do that for me? Or...you would do that with me?
Dr. Gottlieb Well, with worldwide destruction a certain alternative, do I really have a choice?
Then say it with me, my man! We're gonna own this bad boy! [holds out his hand]
Dr. Gottlieb By Jove, we are going to own this thing for sure! [they both shake hands, Newton laughs]
